Babu, I've been browsing through the KRA website (http://www.kra.go.ke/) and didn't find any significant exemption you could avail. There is a reference for insurance premiums and you could look into that in detail.

I reckon the expat spouse will need a work permit to be in paid employment. Perhaps someone could corroborate this.
